As with all of my Plant special episodes, we chat about everything you need to know about growing penstemon including: What soil to grow them in and where How to grow them in containers General maintenance Pests and diseases Feeding and watering, and Propagation It's a truly in-depth chat which will enable us all to go away and grow the best penstemon in our borders next year. If you're looking to add more penstemon to your collection, or, indeed to start growing penstemon, then you can head to the nursery website www.greenjjam.co.uk.
